A North Carolina man is facing 10 counts of cyberstalking involving two Mississippi residents, Attorney General Jim Hood said.

Roderick Arrington, 34, of Hamlet, North Carolina, was arrested Wednesday at his place of employment in Rockingham, North Carolina, Hood said. The arrest was based on an investigation conducted by the Mississippi Attorney General's Cyber Crime Unit.

Arrington is accused of creating fake Yahoo email accounts "from which he allegedly sent repeated, threatening emails to the two victims, both residents of Hinds County," according to a news release from Hood's office.

Hood said he was unable to release additional details because the investigation is ongoing.

An extradition hearing will be held in an effort to bring Arrington to Mississippi, where he will face charges.
